That top photo is definitely not OK in any grocery store near me. They all have tape lines on the floor 6' apart, both at the registers and for the lines waiting to get in, and they are counting the number of people allowed in at one time.  In most states, including mine, hunting and fishing are still allowed as long as people stay 6' apart.

when I went to Costco - only every other register was open.  they had a line to get in because they were limiting the number of people inside. they were also passing out gloves.

when I went to home depot - they had cones in the parking lot - with taped X's for distance apart for people to stand.  they were limiting how many were in the store.

I've been to one grocery store (dh has been to more - they were passing out masks)., they had taped X's on the floor for where people could stand as well.  I had one item, so I went through the self-check-out.

Not really  a meme, but a friend shared it on FB and I thought it worth sharing.  go ahead and report elsewhere if you think it would fit better somewhere else.

I've seen alot of nasty posts in regards to people making "non-essential" trips. Do you ever think maybe that guy buying a gallon of paint knows he must keep busy because idle hands in the past has caused him to relapse and pick up that case of beer? So he's using this time to do home improvements, something that keeps his mind busy while feeling a sense of accomplishment, trying to avoid painful triggers while possibly alone? Or maybe that lady buying bags of soil and seeds has struggled with depression and suicide? How do you know that planting and watching something beautiful grow during this time of darkness isn't essential to her and holding on to what little hope she might still have. We need to remember that it is impossible to know just by looking at a situation from "our" small lens what someone is truly going through or where their mental health is at. Everyone handles chaos & healing through different means and I know we are all on edge, but please stop being so judgmental of others. #mentalhealthisnumberone

I don't know where it belongs but it is beautiful.  Thanks!
